Subsequent to her loss of the 2016 United States presidential election, Hillary Clinton retired from electoral politics and has since engaged in a number of activities.
In their respective roles as a former president and a former first lady, Bill and Hillary Clinton attended the inauguration of Donald Trump with their daughter, Chelsea. The morning of the inauguration Clinton wrote on her Twitter account, "I'm here today to honor our democracy & its enduring values, I will never stop believing in our country & its future." [1]
Clinton delivered a St. Patrick's Day speech in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on March 17, 2017. In it, alluding to reports that she had been seen taking walks in the woods around Chappaqua following her loss in the presidential election, [2] [3] Clinton indicated her readiness to emerge from "the woods" and become politically active again. [2] However, the following month she confirmed she would not seek public office again. [4] She reiterated her comments in March 2019 and stated she would not run for president in 2020. [5]
In May 2017, Clinton announced the formation of Onward Together, a new political action committee that she wrote is "dedicated to advancing the progressive vision that earned nearly 66 million votes in the last election". [6] During 2017, she spoke out on a number of occasions against Republican plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with the American Health Care Act, which she called "a disastrous bill" [7] and a "shameful failure of policy & morality by GOP". [8] In response to the Khan Shaykhun chemical attack, Clinton said the U.S. should take out Bashar al-Assad's airfields and thereby "prevent him from being able to use them to bomb innocent people and drop sarin gas on them". [9]
On April 28, 2020, Clinton endorsed the presumptive Democratic nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, for president in the 2020 election [10] and she addressed the 2020 Democratic National Convention in August. [11] On October 28, 2020, Clinton announced that she was on the 2020 Democratic slate of electors for the state of New York. [12] After Biden and Kamala Harris won New York State, thereby electing the Democratic elector slate, Clinton and her husband served as members of the 2020 United States Electoral College and cast the first of the state's electoral votes for Biden and Harris. [13] [14]
On May 2, 2017, Clinton said Trump's use of Twitter "doesn't work" when pursuing important negotiations. "Kim Jong Un ... [is] always interested in trying to get Americans to come to negotiate to elevate their status and their position". Negotiations with North Korea should not take place without "a broader strategic framework to try to get China, Japan, Russia, South Korea, to put the kind of pressure on the regime that will finally bring them to the negotiating table with some kind of realistic prospect for change." [15] While delivering the commencement speech at her alma mater Wellesley College on May 26, Clinton asserted President Trump's 2018 budget proposal was "a con" for underfunding domestic programs. [16] On June 1, when President Trump announced the withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris Agreement, Clinton tweeted that it was a "historic mistake". [17]
On September 29, 2019, in an interview with CBS News Sunday Morning , Clinton described Trump as a "threat" to the country's standing in the world, describing him as a "corrupt human tornado". [18] She also described Trump as an "illegitimate president", despite him having won the 2016 presidential election. While recognizing that she had indeed lost to Trump, she said that she considered him "illegitimate" because she asserted that his election victory had been assisted by voting restrictions in certain states and Russian influence efforts. [19]
In March 2021, Clinton voiced her support for the United States Senate to abolish the Senate filibuster if it proves necessary to do so in order to pass voting rights legislation. Clinton called the Senate filibuster "another Jim Crow relic". [20]
In a May 2021 interview with The Guardian , Clinton called for a "global reckoning" with disinformation, and for the accountability of major social media platforms such as Facebook. [21]
Clinton's third memoir, What Happened , an account of her loss in the 2016 election, was released on September 12, 2017. [22] A book tour and a series of interviews and personal appearances were arranged for the launch. [23] What Happened sold 300,000 copies in its first week, [24] [25] less than her 2003 memoir, Living History, but triple the first-week sales of her previous memoir, 2014's Hard Choices. [24] [26] Simon & Schuster announced that What Happened had sold more e-books in its first-week than any nonfiction e-book since 2010. [24] As of December 10, 2017, the book had sold 448,947 hardcover copies. [27]
An announcement was made in February 2017 that efforts were under way to render her 1996 book It Takes a Village as a picture book. [28] Marla Frazee, a two-time winner of the Caldecott Medal, was announced as the illustrator. [28] Clinton had worked on it with Frazee during her 2016 presidential election campaign. [29] The result was published on the same day of publication of What Happened. [30] [29] The book is aimed at preschool-aged children, although a few messages are more likely better understood by adults. [29]
In October 2019, The Book of Gutsy Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience , a book Clinton co-wrote with her daughter Chelsea, was published. [31] In February 2021, Clinton announced that she was co-writing her first fiction book with Louise Penny. The book, a political mystery thriller, is titled State of Terror and was released in October 2021. [32]
Clinton has written occasional op-eds in the years since her 2016 election defeat:
Clinton collaborated with director Nanette Burstein on the documentary film Hillary , which was released on Hulu in March 2020. [43]
On September 29, 2020, Clinton launched an interview podcast in collaboration with iHeartRadio titled You and Me Both. [44]
In 2022, Apple TV+ released the television series Gutsy, which was created by Clinton and her daughter Chelsea as an offshoot of their book series. [45] In late-2020, it was announced that Clinton was slated to serve an executive producer of a drama series about the fight for women's suffrage in the United States titled The Woman's Hour. The series, based upon Elaine Weiss' book of the same name, was announced to air on The CW. [46]
Clinton's pre-recorded voice was featured in a 2022 stage production of Into the Woods staged at the Arkansas Repertory Theatre for the role of the Giantess. [47] Clinton had a one night cameo in the January 2024 Broadway musical Gutenberg! The Musical! . [48]
On January 2, 2020, it was announced that Clinton would take up the position of Chancellor at Queen's University Belfast. Clinton became the 11th and first female chancellor of the university, filling the position that had been vacant since 2018 after the death of her predecessor, Thomas J. Moran. Commenting on taking up the position, she said that "the university is making waves internationally for its research and impact and I am proud to be an ambassador and help grow its reputation for excellence". Queen's Pro-Chancellor Stephen Prenter said that Clinton on her appointment "will be an incredible advocate for Queen's" who can act as an "inspirational role model". [49] [50] However, her inauguration was protested by some students. [51]
Clinton resumed her professorial career in September 2023, teaching at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs as a professor of foreign policy. She had last been a university professor nearly five decades prior when she taught at the University of Arkansas Law School. Clinton's first class as a professor at Columbia is a being co-taught with Keren Yarhi-Milo. [52] Clinton is a professor of practice at the school, as well as a presidential fellow at Columbia World Projects. [53]
In October 2017, Clinton was awarded an honorary doctorate from Swansea University, whose College of Law was renamed the Hillary Rodham Clinton School of Law in her honor. [54] In October 2018, Hillary and Bill Clinton announced plans for a 13-city speaking tour in various cities in the United States and Canada between November 2018 and May 2019. [55] Hillary was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in law (LLD) at Queen's University Belfast on October 10, 2018, after giving a speech on Northern Ireland and the impacts of Brexit at Whitla Hall, Belfast. [56] In June 2018, Trinity College Dublin awarded her with an honorary doctorate (LLD). [57] In September 2021 she was awarded an honorary doctorate of civil law by the University of Oxford. [58]
A package that contained a pipe bomb was sent to Clinton's home in New York on October 24, 2018. It was intercepted by the Secret Service. Similar packages were sent to several other Democratic leaders and to CNN. [59] [60]
